EDITOR: I’ve been pleased with the quality of reporting under the Tribune’s new leadership and current staff. But I was disappointed that the Tribune did not report on the Council’s April 1 discussion and vote on limiting hotel development.

No on Measure A

May 20, 2015

In Measure A, Sonoma County voters are being asked to approve yet another general purpose sales tax. Members of the County Board of Supervisors and others out on the stump are promoting Measure A as a “roads tax” that if approved would be spent 90 percent for road repairs and 10 percent for public transit items such as free bus passes for students, seniors and veterans. Unfortunately, the ballot language itself belies a different intent. The plain language of Measure A identifies a list of spending objectives starting with public safety and concluding with the troublesome catchall “other essential services.” Roads don’t even top the list.
